429 Mother-daughter reunion (6)
Tong Lu held the umbrella for her. For some reason, she felt her heart ache. It turned out that the pain of losing her daughter was the same as losing her mother. She could empathize with the feeling. “Madam, I’ll send you off to wherever you want to go. The rain is getting heavier.”
Just as the lady was about to say something, her gaze shifted to the distance and she shook her head.”No, my husband is here.”
About ten meters away, a tall, middle-aged man walked over from afar. He had a mature and imposing manner. The man was wearing sunglasses, so Tong Lu could not see his face clearly. Tong Lu held an umbrella for the lady. She only bid her farewell politely when her husband walked closer to her.
The lady was hugged by her husband lovingly. “Why did you run away alone? Aren’t you afraid of the rain?”
“I just want to be alone.”
“Who is this young lady?”
“I don’t know either. What’s your name, young lady?”
Sir, Madam, my name is Tong Lu. Since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Madam, my condolences.”
The lady was deep in thought, as if she had heard this name before.
Tong Lu nodded and left.
Behind her, the lady leaned her head on her husband’s shoulder, heartbroken. “If our daughter didn’t die, would she be as tall as that girl?”
“Maybe,” The man’s voice was filled with deep sadness as he hugged her shoulder tightly.”Let’s go. Your son and sister are looking for you.”
Tong Lu continued to look for Leng Yejin. She subconsciously turned around and glanced at the couple. For some reason, she felt a sense of nostalgia for them. She smiled, but she was baffled. Leng Yejin was approaching from the distance. His trench coat made him look taller and taller. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickened her pace.
Leng Yejin furrowed his brows. From a distance, he reminded her softly, ” “Slow down, what are you running for?”
Tong Lu ran up to him, panting slightly. She held the umbrella high and stood on her tiptoes to Pat the moisture on his short hair. “Your hair is wet. Do you want to get pneumonia too?”
“Concerned about me?” Leng Yejin’s expression softened. He took the umbrella from her hands. Then, he pulled her into his arms. He was afraid that he would get wet, so he loosened his grip by an inch.
where did you go? I’ve been looking for you.
“A private meeting with the first wife.”
Tong Lu was speechless.
don’t worry. He’s already dead. He can’t threaten you. Even if he’s not dead, he can’t threaten you.
Tong Lu snorted and rolled her eyes at him. She sneezed when the cold wind blew at her. She rubbed her nose hard.
Leng Yejin lowered his gaze. His heart ached for her as he held her tightly in his arms. He took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her. Tong Lu blew her nose in embarrassment. She sounded rather unsightly. Leng Yejin smiled nonchalantly. In a flash, he took her away so that she would not catch a cold.
Within a few breaths, the two of them returned to the remote area of the hospital.
As soon as she walked into the hospital, Yan Shuo’s phone rang.
Tong Lu’s eyebrows twitched. Leng Yejin’s expression instantly turned dark. Shuo shuddered for some reason over the phone.
“Qinlu, didn’t you say you didn’t want to visit the grave? ‘Why did my aunt say that she met a kind young lady just now? her name is Tong Lu?’ It can’t be you, right?”
“Oh, then I changed my mind. So that lady is your aunt?”
“Yes, I told her that you look like my mother, and she said that you were fully armed and couldn’t be judged without seeing your real face. Where are you? Why don’t you come over and let my aunt see if you’re like my mother? she didn’t believe me. ”
